Striking Harvard Workers Win! Key Demands Met

750 striking Harvard dining hall workers have won their three-week strike. UNITE-HERE Local 26 President Brian Lang says the union's bargaining committee believes the tentative agreement "addresses all of the concerns" raised by the striking workers.

They demanded at least $35,000 a year and an end to Harvard putting more health care costs on them.

The workers were voting on the tentative contract ending the strike on Wednesday.

Striker Aaron Duckett says in addition to strong union and student support, the Harvard strikers also drew some political support for their strike.

[Aaron Duckett]: "It's been unbelievable. State officials. Elizabeth Warren's come out to our line. We've had tons of city council members from Cambridge. We've had a couple of Boston Council members come out to our line."
